It's kind of a cool story...

S & L Mural Co. is a co-owned Licensed & Insured LLC established by Joe Sawyer and Rodney Leath that provides services in commercial public art and creative design. The company was created by the two through similar interests, artistic skills, spirituality, and drive to create.

S & L caters interior and exterior murals to the clients' visions. Instead of approaching artwork as an individual style to be sold, Sawyer and Leath took their experience and knowledge of artwork to create a unified, clean approach to their designs. Their designs incorporate building layouts, color theory, and multiple mediums to allow their murals to flow with existing aesthetics. The painting processes used by Sawyer and Leath in S & L are developed to help teach others how to approach painting and use artistic fundamentals. A long-term goal for the two owners is to use the company as an outreach and teaching center to be able to influence future artists. The two hope to encourage others to follow God and their passions. Sawyer and Leath have aspirations for the future to be able to provide a means for emerging artists to pursue public art within S & L for a fair living wage and to set a precedent for artistry to emerge as a viable occupation. From a former career in flight nursing, Sawyer has always had a heart for impacting lives in the Memphis area. Leath as well. He still maintains a nearly two-decade career in the home decor industry, working together with celebrities, designers, and retailers while often creating his own designs for the consumer home.

Since its establishment in August of 2022, S & L Mural Co. has worked with a multitude of hospital facilities, retail developments, franchises, entertainment venues, and small businesses to bring creative corporate visions to life.
